Brownwood.-.;.- ":j - ' f: r: . i- ; -.' Texas
Of the manufacturing industries of Brownwood. there
is probably none. thnt; have. nmdesuch. rapid strides in their
growth as the Brownwood Planing-Mill -under the. man-
agement of Mr. C-Bratton an' e.xperiencel business man
along; contracting and construction lines.
In 1309 the present extensive Brownwood Planing Mill
was a small institution operated by the MoCiirjly Manu-
facturing company oh the south side oE the railroad tracks..
Although at that time the institution was an important one
for the city of Brownwood but Mr. Bratton realized that
(he field here for the. development of an extensive business
was an excellent one and that the institution could be
builded to much 'larger proportions than it was at that
time. The result was that he purchased the business. and
in 1910 moved it to its present site and built the building
which it; now occupies.
The .lirst- move that Mr. Bratton made was to install
a class of machinery "which would enuip the plant to turn
out all kinds -of mill -work. H'o added .piece after piece
of machinery and i his -business continued to grow until .
. today he Operates one of the most complete plants to be
found anywhere in the great Central-. West Texas and
there is nothing in- wood work that cannot- properly bo
"constructed at this" "plant.
Mr. Bratton is the sole owner of the Brownwood Plan-.
. ing Mill and in addition to its operation also docs a gen-
oral Contracting Imsiness which includes thc-buildiug of
any sort of. structure that" might be dqsired. The work of
ihe planing mill is at all times in the hands' of competent
men and every piece of work turned out by the. mill is first
inspected by Mr. "Bratton beforo it: is turned Out as a fin-
ished piece of woVk. " ' ' " -'! -.' .
The Bt'owmvojid Planing Mill makes -.'a jspecialty of
milling interior trimmings! door and window'! frames and
-in. this capacity can do the work that w'ouljl .please the
most fastidious and would. .look . strlctiy in place in the
most pretentious jbuihling. In' fact there is not .a planing
mill in the entii-o United States that can turn out" any
better class of wbrk than that turned cut by -.this concern.
The interior finish work that is manufactured here is aH .
handled fro in th6 highest grade lumber obtainable with-
out a flaw of any description and-especial care is taken
in its construction to make it - as near perfect as it is
. possible to -do Special sasl; and. doors and 'interior trim-
mings arp 'the. principal things ;vhih the ; Brownwood
k - ! -- " " " " ' "f
Planing Mill manufacture's while -th'cyfUlsfo- handle various
lines of work "for special occasions.:: " " :
Qno of theajtraclive features" in having .jsueh aminsti- .
tit tfon located in. Brownwood at this time i$. the fact that
.the plant" is equipped to. turn out on-1 short notice special
"-;wood work for -oil well nraeliine rigs sAieha-yood pulleys
.for well rigs and other w-ork of this class; All -4iinds of
. Wood parts for ibinders or other maxhinery. can be turned
out here-on shrt notice and it is'' very frequent that im-
portant work.-is delayed because of the fact that it is
lecessury to send to some city to s'ecurc this . class of
work done. but- not in Brownwood for the Brownwood JMan-
ing1 Mill is. equipped to do it.
One of the especially attractive lines C work- done by .
this concern ' ij the . nia'nufact.ure of door and. vtindow
screens. 2ny individual who knows anything about wood
work ktiows that a shop made screen doori-made under
the careful direction like that given by ISlr. Braltpn to.
every-piece ofjwood turned out from tills plant is to pur-
chase a commodity ;tliat will outwear and appear neater
and give.moroj satisfactioir than the hastily made factory
door where the whole idea is- 'quantity and not quality. ;
" It is to the hitter that the .Brownwood Planing Mill ad--heres
very plosel'y. These tloor screens arc carried in
stock in; stan.dhrd sizes-nnidc of white pine and any size
order can be ii Hod on short notice audi satisfaction Is
always guaranteed.'
When it is said that anything that can be.made of wood.
. such as special cabinets or any wool parts can be made
satisfactorily at this mill It has all been" said. The writer
cannot make' it too emphatic' that this plant is equipped; "
to -turn out this work In volumo. employing at all tfmes
from four to ten men as it is necessary. The institution
in one of the progressive .manufacturing Institutions of
Urownwood mid should liave the patronage of everyone in
- thiB section needing anything in this line.
This Planing Mill also carries in stock sheet - Floren-
tine Glass cuti to any sjze. Can fill orders promptly.
